WOMEN
In the person of Martyrs Delal and Zîlan, the self-sacrificial spirit of Kurdish women has gained a historic meaning and grown. They became not just names, but pioneers, freedom fighters, representatives of the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Cîhan Hîvron, who set an example for her comrades with her struggle, courage, resistance and sacrifice, will never be forgotten. Her name will be remembered with great honour in the resistance epics of Kurdish women, among the heroes of the struggle.
Politician Naîma Hesen condemned the Damascus government for excluding women from decision-making and stated that such a constitution is unacceptable.
Stating that the Kurdish National Women's Conference in Rojava provided the ground for the Kurdish National Conference in Rojava, Îlham Ehmed said that an alliance of the Kurdish political parties will be declared in Rojava.
